Yeah I know all of that, but I was wanting to do it "right". But it might not matter either way. So I will decide in a week I guess.

Prime Mandatory Weekly Charges you don't have at JCT.
(these are based on my last 6 months at Prime)
APU $65.00
Mileage $91.88 Excess mileage charge.
Permits $33.17
Tolls $36.20
Fuel tax $27.80
Prepass $20.00
Scale $18.00
Road tax $10.58
Reefer fuel $59.31
Truck Payment $200.00 more per week at Prime.

That's $561.94 per week more to operate at truck at Prime then JCT.
All the above mentioned items except the APU are paid for by JCT. The APU is optional at JCT but mandatory at Prime. Oh yeah if you get an APU from JCT you pay $83.00 a week for 2 years and then it's yours Prime you pay for it for 3 years and give it back.
